About this time of year we’re all sick of hearing "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer," and "Jingle Bells." Especially because these traditional songs are now being started before we get to Thanksgiving. (Savages!) These amazing songs however, are the perfect alternative to "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer," while keeping you in the holiday spirit.
One. Let's start with an all time favorite non-traditional Christmas song of mine. All Time Low plays "Fool's Holiday." It starts us off slow, while Alex Gaskarth sings us into a relaxing by-the-fire Christmas mood.
Two. Jason Lancaster, a former singer for both Go Radio and Mayday Parade, brings us this enchanting love song, "All I Can Give You," which is a gift in itself. Just listen to these beautiful vocals, and cross your fingers that your significant other is writing you a Christmas song.
Three. New Found Glory brings us an upbeat, sweet, and just merry song to sing along with while you're doing the last bits of shopping or Christmas cooking. What else could we ask for? They ask for "Nothing For Christmas."
Four. Oh the irony, the giggles, the silliness all perfect for Christmas cheer especially for Friendsmas. The Maine gives us all of this in "Santa Stole My Girlfriend."
Five. Boys of Fall presents us with "Lonely Holiday," it's just a feeling we all have for at least one Christmas. A Detroit-based band tones down their alternative to sing sweet tunes to us. On my Christmas list? All five members of the Boys of Fall.
Six. The Maine gives us another fantastic song, except this one melts our ice cold hearts. "Ho Ho Hopefully" is hopefully how all of our significant others feel this Christmas.
Seven. Let's get our Jingle Bells Rock on, without the Jingle Bells. Blink-182 bumps our Christmas day up with "Won't Be Home For Christmas." This hilarious song really tells it like it is by the time we get to Christmas day. "I'm growing tired of all this Christmas cheer. You people scare me. Please stay away from my home." Enjoy the rest below:
Eight. With beautiful vocals and lyrics, Real Friends sings us some truth about this time of year. A beautiful Christmas based song about moving on, take note people. New year is celebrated because it's an ending AND beginning!

Nine. My Chemical Romance takes a traditional and gives it the typical My Chemical Romance Spin. Try not head banging while making your Christmas cakes and hams, I dare you. This version of "All I Want For Christmas" is absolutely nailed.
Ten. This is for the purists, the ones who will cherish for now and for always Christmas in it's best and worst forms. This Wild Life covers "Sleigh Ride" for an nontraditional, traditional song. I know you'll all be tapping your foot along with the song.
